Exline.pro Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 The US and Hong Kong have started talking about state reserves in bitcoin. Former US President Donald Trump at the Bitcoin 2024 cryptocurrency conference in Nashville announced his intention to create a “strategic reserve from bitcoin.” The politician emphasized the importance of cryptocurrencies for the country's economic competitiveness and promised to never sell bitcoins confiscated by the government. “If I am elected president, the policy of my administration will be to hold all the bitcoin that the state has or confiscates. Those coins will be included in the state reserve,” Trump said. Ahead of the presidential election, Trump has positioned himself as a candidate who supports cryptocurrencies. He has promised to fire US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) head Gary Gensler and create a bitcoin advisory board. Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis, speaking at the same conference after Trump, announced plans to introduce a bill to buy 1 million bitcoins on the Treasury's balance sheet, representing 5% of the total supply of the asset. At the current price, the value of 1 million BTC is around $70 billion. Inspired by Trump's speech, Hong Kong officials also suggested that bitcoin should be considered for inclusion to provide financial reserves. “The global acceptance of bitcoin is constantly growing and bitcoin is perceived by the public as digital gold. The inclusion of bitcoin in strategic financial reserves should be considered, subject to all regulations Exline: An excursion into the world of cryptocurrencies – the boundaries are only in your imagination! 🌐Exchange | ✉️ Subscribe | 💬 VK group | 💬 Exchange Reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exline.pro Posted July 30 Author Share Posted July 30 The State Duma has passed laws on the regulation of cryptocurrencies in Russia The State Duma has adopted two laws which will become the basis for the regulation of the cryptocurrency market in Russia. The documents were adopted at once in the second and third reading. The bill on the regulation of mining will allow the introduction of cryptocurrency mining activities into the legal field, and the bill on experimental settlements in cryptocurrency will allow from September 1, foreign trade settlements and exchange trading in cryptocurrency within the framework of experimental legal regimes. According to Anton Gorelkin, deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, who co-authored both laws, “it was possible to overcome the desire of individuals to ban almost everything and kill the industry.” “We managed to achieve by the second reading the abolition of the ban on the organization of the circulation of cryptocurrencies. We will still have foreign crypto exchanges and exchangers, and there is an opportunity to build our own national infrastructure,” the deputy said. “We also cancel the proposal to ban mining for individuals. We believe that energy companies have effective mechanisms how to build control of gray and black miners. First of all, we consider cryptocurrencies as a tool to circumvent sanctions and a point of high-tech exports,” Gorelkin clarified. Russian legislation will enshrine the concepts of “mining”, “mining pool”, “organization of circulation of digital currency”, define the rights and obligations of participants in the market of cryptocurrency mining. Only Russian legal entities and sole proprietorships included in a special register will be able to engage in mining. Individuals will still be able to engage in mining if they do not exceed the energy consumption limit set by the government. The law removed the ban on organizing the circulation of cryptocurrencies, which threatened to effectively stop the work of Russian crypto exchanges and exchangers. At the same time, there will remain a ban on advertising cryptocurrency and various services based on its use. The bill prescribes special powers for Rosfinmonitoring, which will maintain a special list of wallets that are proven to be engaged in illegal activities. The government will have the ability to impose restrictions on mining in certain regions and territories. The Bank of Russia may start creating an experimental platform for the use of cryptocurrencies in international settlements and conduct cryptocurrency exchange trading under experimental legal regimes (EPR) from September 1.

Exline.pro Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Aksakov approved the creation of Russian bitcoin exchanges The Russian Federation should not be limited to the existing platforms for trading cryptocurrencies and can create its own exchanges.

Exline.pro Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Developers have launched an alternative to the "synthetic dollar" from Ethena Labs The Elixir team has launched a "fully decentralized synthetic dollar" deUSD as a competitor to USDe from Ethena Labs. This is reported by The Block. deUSD is focused on providing liquidity for DEX based on an order book. Operating in the deFi ecosystem, USDe relies on interactions with centralized exchanges and custodians. Like Etheba Labs' stablecoin, deUSDe is also fully secured. It is created using stETH as collateral for Ethereum shorts in a delta-neutral position. The deUSD stakers can earn additional returns above basis in the form of exchange incentives for providing liquidity, the project says. The team claims to provide a "truly decentralized" onchain and non-custodial alternative to USDe with verifiable proofs of execution, open source, and not relying on CEX. According to the developers, deUSD, compared to USDe, also has the ability to remain stable during periods of extreme negative funding rates. According to the developers, they have agreements to raise $1 billion for the stablecoin. The asset will be backed by a number of DeFi protocols. Among them is Pendle, which will handle market making for Elixir's Apothecary initiative. The latter is a points-based system to help users track their contributions to the project.

Exline.pro Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 Whales sold $1.8 billion worth of Ethereum, ETH price dipped below $3,000 Ethereum lost an important psychological and technical support level in the last 24 hours. After falling by 11% from July 22 to July 25, addresses with balances between 10,000 and 100,000 ETH started to get rid of their assets. In just 3 days they sold 630,000 ETH worth over $1.87 billion. Long-term ETH holders can join the whales. According to the Long Term Holders' Unrealized Profit and Loss Indicator (LTH NUPL), their profits have fallen by 4%. If they start selling their assets to cut their losses, Ethereum's price will continue to decline. Although historical data points to an upcoming consolidation in the Ethereum price, ETH has an advantage in the form of spot ETFs. An influx of funds into these investment products could fuel a recovery and bring the second-largest cryptocurrency back above $3,118. However, if ETH loses support at the $2,930 level, which has been repeatedly tested in the past, holders are in for more losses.

Exline.pro Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $50,000: the amount of liquidations in the market exceeded $1 billion. What is the reason why Bitcoin collapsed by more than 15%, Ethereum showed the deepest fall since 2021. Panic in global markets caused by geopolitical tensions, fears about the economic situation and overestimation of the real prospects of the AI sector collapsed cryptocurrencies. Investors around the world are getting rid of risky assets en masse. The bitcoin (BTC) exchange rate on August 5 at 10:00 Moscow time was $51.6 thousand on the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, paired to the USDT stablecoin. In the morning of August 5, the rate fell below $50 thousand. This is the lowest value of the rate since January 2024 and the sharpest drop in the price of the first cryptocurrency since 2021. According to experts surveyed by Bloomberg, cryptocurrencies have come under pressure due to the winding down of the popular among traders strategy of curry-trade, based on the diffeence in interest rates between the yen and other currencies. Rising interest rates in Japan caused massive capital outflows and put pressure on the global financial market, including cryptocurrencies, which is traditionally sensitive to macroeconomic changes. The collapse of Japan's Nikkei index during trading exceeded the fall on "Black Monday" in 1987. Amid fears of a US recession, the collapse exceeded 13% before the close of trading. U.S. stock markets also showed a decline at the close of last week after a disappointing report on the U.S. labor market. The Nasdaq index fell by 2.4%. This news, combined with poor results from major technology companies such as Intel and Amazon, increased volatility in the market.

Exline.pro Posted August 7 Author Share Posted August 7 Survey: 59% of funds in the U.S. will buy cryptocurrencies in the coming year 59% of representatives of management companies surveyed by the law firm Barnes & Thornburg representatives of management companies said that they are ready to increase the share of cryptocurrencies in client portfolios. About this writes Cointelegraph. "This is up from last year, when the majority said that the state of the digital asset market had a significant negative impact on their organization," the report notes. The survey polled 138 executives from private equity, venture capital, hedge fund and investment banking firms across a variety of industries in the US. 84% of respondents reported expectations of growth in private investment in digital assets during the designated period. 26% of participants indicated a decreased likelihood of investing in such products due to volatility (46%), fraud (43%) and platform collapse (43%). The key issue for respondents is yield (54%). Less important are financing conditions - 50% vs. last year's 23% due to rising barriers to raising capital. As a reminder, by the end of Q1 2024, 13 of the 25 largest hedge funds in the U.S. owned bitcoin-based products, according to River.

Exline.pro Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 JPMorgan: The recovery of the crypto market was helped by institutional investors Analysts of the financial company JPMorgan said that the high volatility of the market of digital assets did not scare away institutional investors. JPMorgan analysts, led by Managing Director Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou, explained in a new report that the higher premium on the price of bitcoin futures, compared to the spot price of BTC, indicates the long-term confidence of institutional investors in the growth of the market value of the asset. According to JPMorgan analysts, positive news has already factored into the optimism of institutional investors. These are the upcoming cash payouts of collapsed exchanges Genesis, Mt. Gox and FTX. It's the signals from both US presidential candidates from the two major parties to the crypto community to support a loyal version of cryptocurrency regulation. JPMorgan believes that the sharp drop in bitcoin's market value was not caused by organic problems related to the functioning of the digital asset market, but by the impact of the correction of traditional risk assets such as equities. Against this background, the continued strategy of institutional investors planning long-term investments in bitcoin has contributed to the market's recovery, analysts emphasize.

Exline.pro Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 Ripple has started testing the RLUSD stablecoin Ripple has announced the start of closed beta testing of the RLUSD stablecoin on the XRP Ledger network and Ethereum mainnet. According to the press release, RLUSD has not yet received regulatory approval and is therefore not available for purchase or trading. The team urged to be vigilant due to possible scammers allegedly distributing stablecoin. "There is a clear demand for Stablecoins, which provide trust, stability and utility. [...] With more than a decade of experience building enterprise financial solutions, Ripple is in an ideal position to launch a stablecoin," the publication said. RLUSD is backed by dollar deposits, short-term U.S. Treasury bonds and other cash equivalents. The reserves will be verified by a third-party accounting firm, with Ripple promising to publish monthly reports. "Once RLUSD becomes available, Ripple will use both RLUSD and XRP in cross-border payments to serve its global customers and significantly improve their experience," the company said. In 2023, Bernstein experts predicted the stablecoin market to grow to $2.8 trillion over the next five years. Ripple used a reference to the analysts' report in its press release to justify the feasibility of the initiative.

Exline.pro Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Bitcoin miners earned more than $3.4 mln during the week At the end of August, miners again decided to sell their savings amid the stagnation of BTC. They managed to make a profit of more than $3.4 million. On August 28, the complexity of BTC mining increased from 86.87T to 89.47T (2.99%). The increase in bitcoin mining complexity is attributed to an increase in hash rate after new miners joined the network. Another difficulty adjustment is expected on September 10. The hash price is still below $50, and the other day it fell to $42, which is one of the reasons that pushed miners to sell. The largest pools, Foundry and AntPool, are currently producing about 28.6% and 25.8% of the BTC hash rate.

Exline.pro Posted October 12 Author Share Posted October 12 Mt.Gox postponed the date of compensation payments to 2025 The management of bankrupt bitcoin exchange Mt.Gox has warned that the deadline for compensation payments has been moved from October 31, 2024 to October 31, 2025. “Because it is desirable to make payments to rehabilitation creditors to the extent practicable, the trustee, with the court's approval, has changed the repayment deadline from October 31, 2024 to October 31, 2025,” it said. In September 2023, Mt.Gox had already postponed the repayment date from October 31, 2023 to October 31, 2024. Another postponement temporarily reduces concerns about the impact of potential sales of the first cryptocurrency by customers of the exchange on the price of the asset. Through 2024, Mt.Gox has moved $9 billion, $6 billion, $2.85 billion, $2.25 billion and $784 million worth of bitcoins. Mt.Gox customers have been waiting a decade for their funds to be returned. The civil rehabilitation process began in June 2018. A Tokyo court approved the exchange's proposed plan in 2021.
